Chapter 124 He is dead
She is now old and ugly, and she may not have the next meal after the last one. She doesn't know how much longer she can survive.
So, when she met Huangfu Yi, she decided to entrust these things to him, so that she could put an end to a big thing in her heart.
Huangfu Yi slightly moved his slender jade-like fingers, and the subordinate standing behind him immediately understood and stepped forward quickly, respectfully taking the box from the old woman.
Huangfu Yi's eyes were calm and deep, and he said with his thin lips: "Don't worry, I will live up to your trust and deliver it safely to the designated place."
Just a few simple words, but they seem to carry a power that cannot be questioned.
The old woman nodded tremblingly, her head filled with gratitude, and replied, "Thank you, Master Huangfu. I will never forget your kindness!"
After she finished speaking, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. It seemed that this matter had been weighing on her mind for a long time, and now she was finally able to let it go.
After saying that, Huangfu Yi left with his men.

Dongfang Qingmo and others traveled all night and finally entered a small town at dawn.
The town was littered with shocking mummies lying all over the place.
The air was filled with a sickening stench of decay, and the sunlight that shone through the sparse clouds could not dispel the dead silence and fear.
The doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the street were closed, as if telling a horror story that had happened.
Imperial Master Xiao jumped down from the carriage first, gripping his sword tightly as he looked around with vigilance, "It looks like someone has already attacked here!"
"It's better to be careful!" Dongfang Ti drew his weapon and prepared to deal with possible dangers.
"It's so scary!" Dongfang Qingshui covered his eyes and dared not look.
Dongfang Qingmo and Qian Shuishui looked at each other.
Dongfang Qingmo asked, "Second Uncle, what should we do next?"
While they were on their way, Dongfang Ti asked about the power in Dongfang Qingmo's body and basically knew what was going on.
"We must evacuate from here immediately!!" Following this anxious cry, they began to tiptoe and nervously walk through the empty and gloomy street like frightened birds.
Every step was taken with extreme caution, trying to avoid the shriveled corpses lying on the ground as much as possible, for fear that he would accidentally touch them, which would cause unpredictable consequences and alert the enemies lurking in the dark corners.
At this moment, a faint groaning sound, as thin as a mosquito, suddenly came from the front and reached everyone's ears.
The slight noise instantly broke the original tranquility, making Dongfang Qingmo and his group's hearts suddenly tense.
After they looked at each other, without any hesitation, they immediately approached the direction where the sound came from at the fastest speed.
Soon, an old house that looked dilapidated and crumbling appeared in their sight.
And the intermittent moans came from here.
When they arrived at the house, they finally found the source of the painful sound - they saw an old man lying on the ground, dying and in critical condition.
His entire body was covered with hideous wounds of varying sizes, crisscrossing each other, and blood was constantly oozing out of them, staining the ground beneath him red.
These shocking scars were enough to prove that the poor old man had just experienced an extremely cruel and bloody fight.
Seeing this, Dongfang Qingmo stepped forward, squatted down, lowered his voice, and asked with concern in a soft and gentle tone: "Old man, what happened to you? Why are you injured like this? And what kind of terrible thing happened here?"
When the old man heard someone asking him a question, he struggled to lift his extremely heavy eyelids, barely opening a crack, and his gaze slowly focused on Dongfang Qingmo and others.
The moment he saw them, a ray of hope and desire suddenly flashed in the depths of his originally dull eyes.
He gasped for breath, his voice trembling as he spoke, "You...are you really here to save us? Oh my God! This once peaceful and tranquil town has now been reduced to a complete hellish scene! This place... has been occupied by a group of vicious creatures of unknown origin! Those horrible creatures are simply the embodiment of the devil. They cast horrifying sorcery, turning the innocent people in the town into shrunken corpses one by one!"
"Just to the east, in the southeast direction, there is a small house..." Before he could finish his words, the old man, with a face full of fear and despair, took his last breath.
Dongfang Ti frowned, his expression as solemn as a dark cloud. He slowly reached out his hand and gently touched the old man's already cold nose with his index finger. Then he announced solemnly, "He's dead."
For a moment, the scene fell into deathly silence, with only the nervous breathing of the crowd being clearly audible.
After a moment, Master Xiao broke the silence and asked, "If that's the case, should we follow his last words and head to the southeast hut to take a look?"
Dongfang Ti was the first to speak: "Let's go and take a look, maybe we can find some clues."
Everyone nodded and walked quickly towards the southeast.
Along the way, the atmosphere was depressing and dreary, and the air was filled with the breath of death.
When they finally reached the hut, they found the door closed.
Dongfang Ti suddenly stopped, turned around and said to the people behind him, "Mo'er, and everyone else, please wait here for a moment. I'll go in and investigate first!"
Dongfang Qingmo, who was standing nearby, hurried forward and said with a worried look on his face, "Second Uncle, this place looks really eerie and scary. How about I go in with you? I'll be able to look after you so I can help!"
Her eyes were fixed on the closed door.
This place doesn't look like a good place!!
Dongfang Ti shook his head without hesitation and replied with an unusually firm attitude, "No! Listen! This is no joke. The situation inside is unclear. It's safest for you to stay outside."
After saying that, he turned around again and slowly walked towards the door.
Dongfang Qingshui reached out and grabbed Dongfang Qingmo, who was about to rush forward, and gently advised: "Mo'er, don't be willful. Listen to your second uncle and let's just wait here obediently."
Dongfang Qingmo looked at Dongfang Qingshui helplessly, muttering to himself, but finally stopped.
She rolled her eyes angrily, obviously feeling very unhappy about not being able to enter together.
Dongfang Ti took a deep breath, stretched out his right hand and gently pushed the door open.
In an instant, a strong stench of decay surged out like a tide, hitting everyone in the face.
The stench was so disgusting that it seemed to emanate from the depths of hell.
The light in the room was extremely dim, and only some vague outlines could be vaguely distinguished.
In the corner of the room, there seemed to be a black shadow swaying constantly, sometimes still, sometimes moving quickly, which was creepy.
Seeing this, Master Xiao, who was following closely behind, hurriedly and carefully took out the fire that he had exchanged for something from an old woman from his arms.
He leaned down slightly and blew gently a few times at the dying fire.
The fire burned fiercely in an instant, emitting a faint but extremely warm light.
Although the light is not dazzling, it is enough to illuminate a small space around it.
With the help of the firelight, they were finally able to see the general situation inside the room.
Dongfang Qingshui stood on tiptoe at the back to see what was happening inside the room. "This room is so dark!"
No wonder some weird thing pops out?!
"Don't make a sound." Dongfang Ti frowned.
Don't disturb what's inside.
In a corner of the room, a thick black fog was quietly spreading, and in the black fog, a woman could be vaguely seen tightly wrapped in it.
The moment it came into contact with the light, the black mist began to slowly fade away from the woman.
When the last wisp of black mist dissipated, a man appeared before everyone.
The man was An Wuhen. At this moment, his face was full of displeasure, and one of his hands was still tightly around the woman's shoulders.
